The book leads off with a paper by Galambos on “The safety of bridges”, in which the author attempts to present an explanation to the tragic events of August 1, 2007, when the bridge carrying the Interstate Highway I-35W over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, collapsed unexpectedly, plunging the afternoon rush-hour traffic down with the bridge. The author recommends more thorough design checks for new bridges, inspection of older bridges by experienced bridge engineers and the employment of monitoring techniques so that a collapse like the Minneapolis Bridge remains a very rare event.
